Problem-Based Learning–Buginese Cultural Knowledge Model—Case Study: Teaching Mathematics at Junior High School

Abstract

This study aims to determine the differences in learning output by using Problem Based Model combines with the "Buginese" Local Cultural Knowledge. (PBL-Culture) It is also explores the students activities in learning mathematics subject by using PBL-Culture Models. This research is using Mixed Methods approach that combined quantitative and qualitative methods and Sequential Explanatory Design (SED) Models that implemented at junior high school, at Bone Regency in South Sulawesi Province. The results of this study stated that Firstly, Junior high student learning outputs has increased significantly after being taught by using the PBL-Culture Models Secondly, the learning activities output showed that students have high attitude in the siri', pesse', sipatuo-sipatokkong categories after teach by using PBL-Culture, meanwhile, medium attitude in the siri', sipatuo-sipatokkong categories for non experimental classes. However at pesse' categories, the models shows difficulties in learning and solving problems Moreover the result also showed that students has a low ability at siri' categories depends on the situation given by the teacher and the situation surrounding environment.

The Effect of Problem Based Learning on Problem Solving and Scientific Writing Skills

“…The use of appropriate learning models can improve student skills in problem solving. One of the learning models that can improve problem-solving skills is problem-based learning (Crebert et al, 2011;Dwi et al, 2013;Cheriani et al, 2015;Cahyani & Setyawati, 2016;Kadir et al, 2016;Faudiah et al, 2018). Problem based learning is designed to help students develop their thinking, problem solving, and intellectual skills independently.…”

“…International Journal of Instruction, April 2021 • Vol.14, No.2 problem-solving (Cheriani et al, 2015;Kadir et al, 2016). The orientation to the problems, the first phase, enlightens students' thinking skills to find solutions.…”

Contextual learning with Ethnomathematics in enhancing the problem solving based on thinking levels

“…The Batak community can also find the concepts of social arithmetic, comparison, clan genealogy, and geometric instruments in traditional clothing and houses (Saragih, Napitupulu, & Fauzi, 2017). In the Bugis Makassar cultural context, the application of ethnomathematics can bring about attitudes that are universally appropriate to people's customs and habits (Cheriani, Mahmud, Tahmir, Manda, & Dirawan, 2015). There are also buildings in the form of fortresses, palaces, pinisi boats, and weaving motifs in Bugis Makassar culture which includes mathematical elements.…”

The Development of Student Worksheet and Test Instrument for Statistical Thinking Skill Based on Local Culture and Accordance with Curriculum 2013 in Indonesia: Design Research Stage

“…He undertook the development of a learning strategy based on Batak culture and his research provided an improvement to students' mathematical abilities [23]. Similar findings were also founded that the development of problem-based learning models with problems based on Bugis local culture, the developed a joyful learning model designed based on Malay culture; and also the developed a guided-discovery learning model based on Batak Toba culture [24]- [26].…”
